watching this video again (Aerobe in Green island Bell posted it on the first page of this thread) and i amazed at HOW STABLE the thing is on the back of the boat whipping along.......astonishing...cannot wait to get mine to play with!!!!!

yes...same genre of kites....but the Aerobe is able to take more winds outdoors than those other kites (see the above video).....it will not glide as well as a skate....or look as impressive as a 61/49....or ____________ like a Urban ninja (fill in your blank since i have not flown one)......or be as durable as a Bird'x......but...at this price it is a good kite with lots of abilities.....

I think the boat in the Green Island video is flying along in the same direction as the wind. There's more (tail-)wind up a bit where the kite is flying than down at deck level, where the flag is whipping pretty hard.

If the actual wind were calm and the kite flying behind a boat going that fast, the tail would be virtually horizontal, and the kite would be flying higher, almost horizontal.

We got ours yesterday and gotta admit it's a pretty thing................it's a little bigger than we imagined and I bridle flew it around the living room a bit.............Raining outside, ya had to figure THAT!!

You can see how floaty it is when it gets horizontal to the deck.........gonna be a fun little toy, for sure.

I got mine to fly indoors and took it out with the winds up fly's like a champ ...

I'm really impressed and might end up ordering another one in a different color

Your thoughts on tuning with the prussic knot on the bridle? Just got a chance to fly it in 0 wind with the prussic attached just the way it came. (about three inches up from the attach point)......It was different but really floaty on about 12 ft of line, and wondering if you or anyone has an opinion.
